Jamaica

Jamaica is an island of vast geographical diversity. When you say Jamaica you immediately think of Bob Marley, Rum and Bobsleighing. A thriving music scene centered in Kingston is but an exterior revelation of the artistic heartbeat underpinning all of Jamaican society. Jamaica is always pulsating with rhythms and beats to keep your hips swinging and feet tapping until sunrise. However, it is not just reggae that dominates the music scene, Calypso, ska, African tribal music and mento are also featured in this vibrant nation. The North coast of Jamaica dominates the tourist trade, arguably to an unsustainable point. The most visited areas in the north include Montego Bay, the all-inclusive capital of Jamaica , Ochos Rios, cruise and honeymoon-ville and Port Antonio.

Kingston the capital city is the first place many travelers arrive. It is located on the South coast of the island. The city offers world class business hotels, upscale shopping and top entertainment and dining. Other destinations in Jamaica are Montego bay, Spanish town, Negril, May Pen, Falmouth , St. Ann 's Bay, Lucea, Port royal , Cockpit country, Port Antonio, Mandeville.
